Just as the frog leaps between water and land, Prometheus Rising teaches us how to “leap” between different states of consciousness.
The leap isn’t always gradual—it can be sudden, total, and profound just like a Frog Leap.
The frog is the master of the two worlds :
Water: It represents intuition, dreams, the unseen, and the emotional depths. The frog thrives here, fully immersed in the flow of the subconscious and spiritual.
Land: It represents logic, structure, and material reality. The frog can leap forward here with precision and practicality.
Frog's powerful leap reflects rapid spiritual progress, the ability to shift from one state of consciousness (land representing material consciousness) to another (water representing spiritual consciousness).
I have experienced Prometheus Rising in 2021.
When you stand at the seaside, you see gulls fighting endlessly over a single crust of bread. And you wonder—why do they squabble over nothing? Richard Bach’s Jonathan Livingston Seagull always resonated with me. While the flock fought over sex and food, Jonathan longed for freedom !
Between 2016 and 2018, I too was preyed upon by “seagulls.” You know those instincts—courtship calls, mating rituals, endless squabbles. In their pursuit of food and sex, they caused wounds that went far beyond noise—they inflicted deep damage on my career, without any fault of mine.
In anger, I filed a case—not only against them, but even against a few innocent ones. And then something unexpected happened. One of the falsely accused responded with compassion instead of bitterness. That moment shattered me. For the first time, I saw my own reflection—my humanity, my compassion.
That day, something inside me shifted. I saw myself !
I forgave all four. I chose to start life anew. But forgiveness did not stop there. My heart turned toward a deeper wound—one carried across generations.
My father’s life began with loss—his mother died giving birth to him, his father who remarried passed away soon after, and his stepmother abandoned him while taking all the property near Raja Ravi Varma’s summer fort in Alappuzha while he was barely 10 years old. When he turned 18, relatives urged him to fight for his rights, but he chose peace over possession.
Life has a way of teaching you. If you refuse to do the obvious, life itself will force you to.
And in that moment of truth, I discovered the only real law: Forgiveness and Compassion lead to freedom. So I chose to forgive.
In 2021, I understood my father's strength. Forgiveness and compassion is not weakness—it is power. That year, I forgave not only the four who wronged me, but also my step-grandmother. I began performing Pitru Karma for her, honouring her as an ancestor.
A man can hide his sins all his life, but when his final breath approaches, the only words that come are: “Please forgive me for my sins.”
We are not bound only by blood—it is water, the flow of life itself, that connects us. And I realized something profound—when you perform Pitru Karma for someone who is not of your blood, you don’t need to go searching for water. The water itself will find you. It will come to you, carrying with it the grace of freedom.
Prometheus Rising !
Change need not be incremental; it can be total and profound—like an inner metamorphosis that redefines how we live and see the world with a new perspective.
Today, when I see seagulls fighting over food and sex, I don’t complain—I simply laugh. And I make sure I don’t become the victim again. I have learned to navigate material consciousness with ease.
Compassion is the only true law which leads one to Freedom !
Like Jonathan soaring above the squabbling flock, I too had learned to rise.
The best exercise for heart and lungs.
